The Recent Shooting Affair. – Hugh McGinley, who,
according to the verdict of the Coroner’s jury, accidentally shot and killed
Patrick Holmes, at the Louisiana Hospital, was still in custody on Saturday. The
Mayor considered it a case properly within the jurisdiction of a county
magistrate, and the prisoner was sent back to Gen. Winder, with a message to
that effect.
